3.1 Ways to save energy
• Do not leave the doors of your
refrigerator open for a long time.
• Do not put hot food or drinks in your
refrigerator.
• Do not overload the refrigerator.
Cooling capacity will fall when the air
circulation in the refrigerator is hindered.
• Do not place the refrigerator in places
subject to direct sunlight.
Install the product at least 30 cm away
from heat sources such as hobs, ovens,
heater units and stoves and at least 5 cm
away from electrical ovens.
• Pay attention to store your food in
refrigerator in closed containers.
• You can remove the drawer shelf of the
freezer compartment to fill the freezer
compartment with maximum amount of
food.
The given energy consumption value of
the refrigerator has been determined
with the freezer compartment shelf or the
drawer removed and the refrigerator
filled with maximum amount of food.
There is no harm in using a shelf or
drawer according to the shapes and
sizes of food to be frozen.
• Thawing the frozen foods in the fridge
compartment both saves energy and
reserves the quality of the foods.
3.2 Recommendations About the
Fresh Food Compartment
• Make sure that the food does not touch
the temperature sensor in fresh food
compartment.
To allow the fresh food compartment to
keep its ideal storage temperature, the
sensor must not be hindered by food.
• Do not place hot foods or beverages
inside the product.
Improper use
Risk of damages to the appliance
• Connecting your refrigerator to systems
that save energy is dangerous as they
may cause damage on the product.
Temperature of the room where
your refrigerator is located should
at least be 10°C/50°F.
Operating your refrigerator under
cooler conditions is not
recommended with regard to its
efficiency.
Inside of your refrigerator must be
cleaned thoroughly.
If two coolers are to be installed
side by side, there should be at
least 4 cm distance between them.
Use
15
EN
3.3 Initial use
Before using the product, make sure that all
preparations have been made in
accordance with the instructions given in the
“General Safety” section.
• Clean the interior of the refrigerator as
recommended in the “Cleaning and
maintenance” chapter. Before you start
the refrigerator, make sure that the
interior is dry.
• Plug the refrigerator in a grounded
socket. The interior illumination is lit when
the door of the refrigerator is opened.
• Operate the refrigerator for 6 hours
without placing any food in it anddo not
open its door unless it is necessary.
3.4 Dual Cooling System
Your refrigerator is equipped with two
separate cooling systems to cool the fresh
food compartment and freezer
compartment.
Thus, the air and odor in the fresh food
compartment andthe frozen food
compartment do not get mixed.
Thanks to these two separate cooling
systems, cooling speed is much higher than
that of other refrigerators. Also additional
power saving is provided since the
defrosting is performed separately.
3.5 Freezing Fresh Food
Wrap the foods or place them in a covered
container before putting them in the
refrigerator.
• Hot foods and beverages must cool
down to the room temperature before
you put them in the refrigerator.
• The foodstuff that you want to freeze
must be fresh and in good quality.
• Divided the food into portions according
to your family's daily or meal based
consumption needs.
• Pack the foods in an airtight manner to
prevent them from drying even if they are
going to be stored for a short time.
• Materials to be used for packaging must
be tear-proof and resistant to cold,
humidity, odor, oils and acids and they
must also be airtight.
Moreover, they must be well closed and
they must be made from easy-to-use
materials that are suitable for deep-
freezers.
You will hear a noise when the
compressor starts up. The liquids
and gases sealed within the
refrigeration system may also give
rise to noise, even if the
compressor is not running and this
is quite normal.
Front edges of the refrigerator may
feel warm.
This is normal. These areas are
designed to be warm to avoid
condensation.
Use
16
• Frozen food must be used immediately
after they are thawed and they should
never be refrozen.
• Do not freeze too large quantities of
food at one time.
The quality of the food is best preserved
when it is frozen right through to the core
as quickly as possible.
• Placing warm food into the freezer
compartment causes the cooling system
to operate continuously until the food is
frozen solid.
3.6 Recommendations for Storing
Frozen Food
• Frozen foods you purchase must be
stored according to the conditions and
temperature determined by the food
manufacturer.
• Note the following to ensure that the
high quality achieved by the frozen food
manufacturer and the food retailer is
maintained:
1. Put packages in the freezer as quickly as
possible after purchase.
2. Make sure that the content of the
package is labeled and dated.
3. Check whether the “Use By” or “Best
Before” date on the packaging is
expired or not.

door shelves are positioned at
the same level as glass shelves.
Make sure than the door is
closed after.
Make sure that the details at the
right and left-hand sides are fixed
when installing the crisper.
Never leave the vegetables in their
plastic bags in the crisper. If they
are left in their plastic bags they will
rot in a short period of time.
Use
19
EN
The crisper compartment preserves the
humidity of your vegetables, allowing you
to store them for a long time without having
to keep them in their bags.
If you do not prefer the vegetables to get
into contact with other vegetables due to
hygienic reasons, you can use perforated
paper, foam or a similar material instead of
plastic bags.
While the vegetables are being replaced,
their specific weights should be taken into
consideration.
Heavy and hard vegetables must be
placed at the bottom of the crisper and light
and soft vegetables must be on the upper
part.
Pears, kiwis, tomatoes, cucumbers, apricots,
peaches, broccolis, lettuces, cabbages,
parsley and spinach are fruits and
vegetables that emit ethylene gas.
Do not place them into the same crisper
with other fruits and vegetables.
The ethylene gas emitted by these foods
cause other fruits and vegetables to ripen
sooner and to rot in a shorter span of time.
Do not remove the main body of the crisper
from the refrigerator separately unless you
have to do so.

4.2 Avoiding Bad Odors
Materials that may cause odor are not used
in the production of our refrigerators.
However, odor may be emitted if foods are
stored improperly or if the inner surface of
the product is not cleaned as required.
Please consider the following to avoid this
problem:
It is important that the refrigerator is kept
clean.
Food residuals, stains, etc. can cause odor.
For this reason, clean your refrigerator with
carbonate solved in water every 15 days.
Never use detergents or soap.
Keep your foods in closed vessels.
Microorganisms emitted from vessels
without a cover may cause unpleasant
odors.
Never keep expired or spoiled foods in
your refrigerator.
4.3 Protecting the Plastic Surfaces
Do not put liquid oils or oil-cooked meals in
your refrigerator in unsealed containers as
they damage the plastic surfaces of your
refrigerator.
If oil is spilled or smeared onto the plastic
surfaces, clean and rinse the relevant part
of the surface with warm water immediately.
Switch off the product before
cleaning.
It is recommended to clean the
condenser every six months using
gloves.
You must not use vacuum
cleaners.

4.4 Cleaning the Inner Surface
To clean the inner surfaces and all
removable parts, wash them with a mild
solution comprising soap, water and
carbonate.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
Prevent the water from contacting the
lighting means and control panel.
4.5 Stainless Steel Outer Surfaces
Use a stainless steel cleaning agent that is
nonabrasive and apply it with a lint-free,
soft cloth.
For polishing, wipe the surface softly with a
damp microfiber cloth and use dry wash-
leather.
Always follow the strands of the stainless
steel.
Do not use vinegar, rubbing
alcohol or other alcohol-based
cleaning agents on any of the
inner surfaces.
